Kind of like the way President Bush's give-away program for
churches has been a primary vote-getter for him?

Actually with careful study of the last election, one might
infer that the staunch support of Diebold Corp. is
Bush/Cheney's primary vote-getter, but that's not the issue
under discussion.

There's an intelligent & well-reasoned statement for you.

Considering that during the last election, Republican flyers
were being handed around (many being distributed at
churches) that said "Democrats want to force your children
to become homosexuals" and "Kerry has pledged to outlaw the
Bible," one wonders if the Republicans pander to their own
carefully nurtured pockets of ignorance.
